UK plans fossil fuel-free power grid by 2035 using nuclear energy (Jessica Shankleman and Rachel Morison, Boomberg, Al Jazeera)

October 5, 2021

The U.K. will reserve a key role for nuclear power in the nation’s electricity system as a backup for renewables in a plan to phase out natural gas by 2035.

Fossil fuels will no longer be used to generate power by the middle of the next decade as the U.K. tackles the double threat of climate change and an energy supply crunch that has sent prices spiraling to record highs. The government says the plan is “a landmark move to end Britain’s dependency on volatile fossil fuels.”
